Create your dream life and don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.

“Don’t let people who are too weak to follow their dreams discourage
you from pursuing yours”

Self-doubt is a poor advisor

It is so easy to let others talk you out of your dreams when you already doubt yourself.

When you feel vulnerable you’re most likely to listen to them and think they make sense.

It’s when you’re not sure that you can succeed (or fail and be fine) that your brain wants to keep you safe.
To spare you the embarrassment and the pain of a possible failure.

And so you readily accept other people’s excuses as the truth.

“Maybe I don’t have what it takes. Maybe the economy isn’t good right now.
Maybe I don’t have enough time or the necessary connections”.

Believe in yourself and create your dream life

If you believe in yourself, in your goals, in your commitment, and in your ability to improve your skills, people can say whatever they want.

You will simply see it as what it is. It’s their opinion. Not facts.

Then their criticism can even make you smile because you know how wrong their perception of you is.

If you don’t believe somewhere deep inside that they might be right their words can’t touch you.

When you are sure of yourself and confident in your abilities you’re not easily swayed by the negative talk of other people.

Choose carefully who you listen to

But let’s say you’re not so sure that you can actually reach your goals.
When you dream big it means that you naturally have no clue how you can create your dream life.

There’s always a certain amount of uncertainty and doubt.

So the most important rule should be that you don’t listen to people you would never ask for advice.

People who are too scared to create their dream life literally don’t know what they’re talking about.

They either project their own fears onto you – or worse, they might be jealous of your courage.

They may not even do it on purpose but it makes them feel better if others don’t reach their goals either.
And so they sabotage your dreams (if you let them).

When you don’t feel that confident because you’re doing something new with lots of uncertainty it’s easy to get “brainwashed”.

What they say sounds like plausible advice on why it’s safer to forget your goals and why you shouldn’t create your dream life.

Why expose yourself to unnecessary risk, potential shame, and painful heartbreak?

If that sounded convincing to you it’s time for a more optimistic view. You can figure things out.
Little by little, step by step!

You don’t have to have it all figured out

It’s normal that you don’t know all the steps to reach your goals.
You can’t create your dream life in your head all the way through.

There are too many unknowns.

Following your dreams is supposed to be a journey.
Big dreams require that you go through a transformation.
So you can become the person that is able to achieve your goals.

That’s what’s inspiring and motivating.
To see yourself become the best version of yourself!

Create your dream life now

If you start now, you won’t be the same person in 6 months.
You will learn a lot about yourself and improve your skills.

You’ll know so much more than you know now.
And that will help you figure out the even more complicated stuff then.

I recommend this article for more advice on how to reach your goals.

Now, if people haven’t successfully done what you want to do, you shouldn’t take their “advice” to heart.
It’s basically an uninformed opinion full of self-limiting beliefs and stories.

You are the only one responsible for your success.

You can do this. You can figure this out!
It’s time to prove all these naysayers and their negative talk wrong.

Show them that you can create your dream life.
Maybe they’ll even get inspired by your example.
